French gamers must
be familiar with that combination by now, and if a certain Sony executive gets his way, the PS3 could be appearing in
Europe for as low as 500 euros this fall.

Apparently George Fornay (president of Sony Computer Entertainment
France and vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) confirmed to Generation Europe 1, in French,
that the PS3 could be priced around the 500 euro mark, most likely between 499 euros and 599 euros. For the unfiltered
French audio, try the Play button near the middle of Europe 1's podcast page here.

Such an estimated
figure may include Europe's Value
Added Tax (VAT), so the final price range in the States might well be lower than the current U.S. currency
equivalent of roughly $600-$725 for those many euros. Of course, who's to say whether Mr. Fornay was simply speculating
on a local podcast or whether he actually exhibited loose lips before the French press?
